I think fahren is drive.

**xsperf** · 10-09-2005, 10:35 AM

yea fahren is drive, other than that, i have no idea

what the hell does frerde mean?

**Dudesky** · 10-09-2005, 11:13 AM

Did you mean to say "Freude am Fahren"? A BMW expression that goes something like "Joy In Driving"?

I plugged it into freetranslation.com and got: The Joy In Going, which I think is probably something like what Dudesky suggested. Now that I look at it I have a poster that has those same words on it, it also says Die gleiche DNA (the same dna) It is the m3 csl and their f1 car on a wet track criss crossing making a dna type helix.

Joy Of Driving...

This german quote is stamped onto the underside of all BMW engine blocks. To prove authenticity and as a proof of purchase.

Is this where you saw it?

I'll post a picture later.

Speaking of German.

I've always wondered what my favorite German song means.

Witt Heppner Die Flut-Rammstein

Quote:

Und du rufst in die Nacht
Und du flehst um Wundermacht
Um 'ne bess're Welt zum Leben
Doch es wird keine andre geben

Wann kommt die Flut, wann kommt die Flut
Über mich
Wann kommt die Flut, wann kommt die Flut
Die mich berührt
Wann kommt die Flut, wann kommt die Flut
Die mich mitfortnimmt
In ein andres großes Leben – irgendwo
